Property Details

This detached home has been in the same family ownership since 1968, a clear sign of the care and stability it has provided over the years. Originally built as a three-bedroom house, it was thoughtfully extended over the garage to create five bedrooms in total – four doubles and one good-sized single.

The ground floor is arranged with a wide vestibule leading into a spacious lounge, fronted by a large picture window and a wall-mounted gas fire. To the rear, a separate dining room overlooks the private garden. The kitchen is traditionally fitted and links directly to a pantry, utility room, ground floor WC, and integral garage. Together, these areas provide excellent potential to reconfigure into a modern open-plan dining kitchen if desired.

Upstairs, the five bedrooms are well proportioned and naturally bright. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite in champagne with an electric shower above the bath. The home benefits from full double glazing and gas central heating, served by an Ideal combi boiler installed around seven years ago, this has been serviced every year. While in a well-maintained condition, the interiors would now benefit from updating, giving buyers the opportunity to modernise to their own tastes.

Externally, the home sits on a good plot with a lawned garden to the front, driveway parking, and an integral garage that has an electric garage door, operated by a fob. To the rear is a mature west-facing garden, well enclosed by tall hedging for privacy, easy access from gates on both sides of the property.
